              <text>The American Sunday-School Union generally did not include dates in the imprints on the books they published and kept titles in print for long spans of time. This cataloger’s aid was developed by Holly Phelps from information in the Union’s catalogues. Ms. Phelps developed it initially to catalog the collection of the Union’s archival copies of the children’s books they published, which the Union donated to the Free Library of Philadelphia in 1964. The cataloging records appear in the Free Library’s online catalog (with extensive notes on when the Union listed each title in their catalogues, and when the Union was located at any and all of the addresses listed in the imprint, thus limiting the assigned date span to the greatest extent possible). Please note that these records often do not appear in WorldCat.</text>

              <text>This cataloger’s aid (used in conjunction with the Free Library cataloging records) is now an ongoing resource for cataloging the publications of the American Sunday-School Union. It was also used to catalog the imprints in the Teitelman Collection of American Sunday-School Union Woodblocks and Imprints, which came to the Library Company as a bequest from S. Robert Teitelman in 2009:&#13;
